Casper Ruud says he wants to return to the top 10 and qualify for the ATP Finals in 2027, when David Ferrer joins his coaching team.
Speaking to Bolavip at the Stockholm Open, Ruud said he was drawn to Ferrer’s work ethic and recent experience on tour. Christian Ruud, his father and longtime coach, will remain part of the team while based in Norway.
Ruud also said he still wants to win his first major. He has reached three Grand Slam finals, two at Roland Garros and one at the US Open. Ferrer, a former world No. 3, reached the Roland Garros final in 2013.
